GORE WEARMen's Thermo Cycling Jacket C3 GORE-TEX INFINIUM

Q: Is the dwr permanent or is the wash in or spray on kind of dwr required after a few weeks?

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) functionality of this garment appears to be built-in &/or a result of the (goretex infinium) fabric(s) utilized. The jacket seems to allow slow/sitting/stagnant water to pass through the fabric (allowing moisture / sweat to evacuate) & preventing moving water from passing through (Ex. rain, splashes, etc). Even when hand-washing the jacket the features of the fabric are apparent. I have other Gore windstopper products & have noticed any degradation of the fabric’s ability to repel liquids.

Q: for what temperature is this designed

50’s with a tee shirt underneath 40s with a thermal underneath. When I’m riding pretty hard. That’s with long pants gloves and the gortex cap under my helmet. It’s not super warm but it stops The wind. I really like it.
